I'm not too concerned with scraping a knee. Hell the only reason I leave the knee pucks on my pants is becuase I feel like it will be more protection in a crash. I'm wanting to work more on my technique than anything else. If my knee touches the ground I'll be happy because but I know a knee on the ground isn't everything.
Right now I don't really have the cash for a track day. I'm about to start a new job(I hope) that actually pays less but has better hours(And Saturday's off). In which I plan to go to night school for the next 4+ years along with some Saturday classes if available.
Nor do I know how to prep my bike for track. Also tracks(Atleast the one I live near which is Road Atlanta) require Race Compound tires in good condition. So I'm having trouble wanting to spend $400+ just for track tires that won't be good later on.
Don't get me wrong. I'd love to do a track day and if I'm not dead somehow in the next year or so I will get a track day in some shape or form(Even if I have to jump my bike over hte fence) For now I want to get my technique close as I can since I don't know any better riders than me. I'm not saying I'm good but I don't know many experienced riders much less ones that I trust know what they are doing and want to help me out.
Which when I do some parking lot practice I'll get someone to film me and take pictures and people can point out what I'm doing wrong. WHich could help greatly.
But again the advice has been excellent and has helped me with turns I have been on everyday since i've been riding.
